The Mattingly Brewing Company may now be producing full scale productions of beer, but that doesn’t stop them from showing off what’s yet to come. Tonight, Head Brewer Drew Huerter and Assistant Brewer Jerid Saffell will be offering their Bright Nights Wheatwine.

Here’s Jerid with a little information about the beer:

Bright Nights Wheatwine features 2 malts, American wheat and German Vienna. They combine to create a big malty backdrop for the 50 ibu’s of hop bitterness. There will be 2 kegs of this served at the same time. One keg has been dry hopped with Summit and Ahtanum hops while the other is served with no dry hops. The beers are amazingly different and it’s a good way to see just how dramatically dry hopping changes a beer. 8% a.b.v, served in snifters.

Here’s a look at what to expect next week:

3/10 – Elderberry Irish Ale

Be sure to head out tonight and taste some of Drew and Jerid’s excellent beer.

Wow Craig, which one? Many of thier beers are as good as, and, sometimes better than the over 400 I have reviewed on beer advocate, not to mention another 300+ I haven’t reviewed. Why are not a fan? Please don’t say it’s because they don’t have something that tastes like Budweiser..( I actually heard this at the Taproom a couple weeks ago).

Neither Drew nor myself have ever considered anything we make beyond criticism, bad or good, but statements like that don’t help anything. I apologize that you didn’t appreciate the offerings but beyond that you must make an educated statement as to why, otherwise we can do nothing about it. That said, Mattingly has never been about beer for the masses. We make beer that has always been a bit eclectic and hope that the audience we brew for has the same taste as we do. Aside from that I wish you the best in drinking beer that appeals to your tastebuds.
